National Project for Baptist Women’s Ministries in Puerto Rico

Hurricanes Irma and Maria in September 2017 severely damaged Puerto Rico’s infrastructure and access to basic provisions. Our Baptist sisters in Puerto Rico have generously supported American Baptist Women’s Ministries through the years in many ways--now it’s our time to support Baptist women’s ministries in Puerto Rico.

American Baptist Women's Ministries is raising funds through its Women and Girls Mission Fund to provide 2018 budget funding to Ministerios de Mujeres Bautistas de Puerto Rico (Baptist Women's Ministries of Puerto Rico). Our goal is for American Baptist women stateside to collectively give $10,000 to help fund the region Baptist women’s organization and empower its board to continue its vital ministries with women and girls in 2018.

Your donation will provide funding for the region organization’s president to travel among the churches for face-to-face encounters with the church women, plus provide travel allowances for its officers to participate in board meetings, plus funding for the president to be present at the table of the ABWM national board meeting in Illinois in July 2018.

The Baptist women of Puerto Rico are huge supporters of Love Gift and White Cross and additionally provide support to ABWM in so many ways. During these months when women in Puerto Rico will need to redirect their resources to immediate basic needs of their families and neighbors, it is important that we walk alongside them and empower their region ministries with women and girls to have the monetary resources to continue to thrive.
